There probably won’t be midterm elections. If there are, it will be with armed ICE agents accosting people in line to vote and making arrests.

Time to play dress-up and vote in your best MAGA outfit. But I'll warn you--you can't out MAGA me, I'm Latino, after all. 😂

Believe it or not, straight to an El Salvador death camp

DNC: Oh no! Our fellow party members have been harassed and killed.

Also DNC: Anyway....

But but but....there "sounding the alarm". You don't understand it's sooooo hard to run candidates someone would really vote for. (sarcasm)

No way the party incapable of doing anything defeated by the party capable of only evil, never would have seen this coming

Question: I'm not one for protesting and marching in the street. I'm sure it matters, but I'm introverted and large crowds make me very anxious. I also have health condition that needs regular management and live in the rurals, most of my time is spent at home. What can I do to actually help?

I already donate to causes I care about regularly, such as my local food bank, wikipedia, NPR, and PBS. Is there something else I can or should be doing? I hate what's happening to the US right now, but I don't feel like I have much, if any power to do anything about it or help, outside of donating to charitable causes.

A couple more suggestions:

Check out https://heywhatcanido.com/ ... Even if it's not tailored to your specific region, it should give you ideas about the types of things you can get involved with to actually make a difference. Much of it from home.

You can search for local mutual aid groups. You won't have to be in crowds but you can still help with organizing, and making a difference on the ground. Logistics and administration are crazy helpful.

On the up side, Nancy Pelosi is running for re-election.

[–] WizardofFrobozz@lemmy.ca 31 points 3 days ago (1 children)

For those of you keeping track, for this week it’s MAGA 5 / “Resistance” 0

[–] Mustakrakish@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago (4 children)

Hey but the cities around me had protests that went till 2pm, only on a non-work day and family friendly so everyone could get their photo ops and be home in time to watch the game. That's surley going to change things right? ... right?

*This is just year 1/3. There will be eleven times more of this before Trump's term is (theoretically) over.

Let's not forget all the Bad Things™ the Republicans have dealt with this year! They have:

A Republican-funding billionaire throwing a tantrum at Daddy Donny.

A Republican senator arrested for CSAM.

Good American patriots are being targeted and singled out! Woe is them, it's not fair! /s

But hey, at least people are gathering in the streets! If there's one thing that fascists hate it's groups of people walking together.

Fuck all the assholes that voted Jill Stein over Palestine or some stupid reason like that. It never was about Palestinians, and these assholes got us here: Hell

You brought all of us here, you deserve nothing

If anti-genocide Americans weren't significant enough to listen to, they're not significant enough to blame.

[–] FreakinSteve@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Need that on a t shirt

[–] psychadlligoat@piefed.social 13 points 3 days ago

Concepts like that are too logical for the Liberal mind to comprehend

You should probably spend more time stomping around your basement yelling at the monitor screen

[–] eugenevdebs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Yeah all those third party voters who if they all voted for Kamala wouldn't have changed the results of any state are to blame. Not picking unpopular polices, or breaking away from Biden who was a deeply unpopular candidate. It's the people who had zero impact state and federal level.

Not worth listening to, but big enough to blame. The enemy is weak and strong.

Fuck all the assholes that voted Jill Stein over Palestine

Point to the state Harris wins with the Green Party vote.

[–] eugenevdebs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 days ago

Notice how they can't but will regurgitate their talking points, because fact checking is propaganda, or something.

Where's Nancy Pelosi? Probably too busy getting rich. These Democrats supported a genocide and they got us in this position because all they are is controlled opposition. In order to have any thoughts about domestic politics in the imperial core, you need to understand the world as a whole. Liberals struggle to do this. This little island called the United States likes to smell its own brand. I think the right-wing piglets call this fuck around and find out. At least these fascist neoliberals are actually working for their money nowadays. You ain't getting no tears from me. I saw it down the track, a hundred miles away. There is no fucking war, but the class war

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 12 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Where’s Nancy Pelosi?

So cool for Democrats to be in functional retirement, but still squat on their House seats like they're taking a lifetime shit.

[–] KingPorkChop@lemmy.ca 10 points 3 days ago

Fucking Boomers.

Yes, she was born 4 years early to officially be a boomer, but she's definitely a "fuck you, got mine" boomer.

Year 1? Fuck is not even been 5 whole months

[–] Eheran@lemmy.world 20 points 4 days ago (2 children)

So you can see where this is going? What are you going to do about it? What are even realistic options? Perhaps a strongly worded post on X?

[–] Fiivemacs@lemmy.ca 21 points 4 days ago (15 children)

Instead of bitching in the same public manner they are informing people on, what's YOUR resolution..or do you just complain about others
